This article says AOL is switching from Google to MSN for their search engine. Both of the sources cites are registration only.

WW cites the WSJ. I checked the story on the WSJ and found it on one place on the net: http://www.mediainfocenter.org/story.asp?story_id=86449122 (no idea if they are legally reprinting...)

I wonder if Digg can stay with its current comments system... and I'm just quoting the silly comments here (some were at least funny):

"No one cares about AOL, at least I don't."
"i bet your wrong."
"this is stooopid."
"AOL is still around? lol"
"WE DROP GOOGLE NOW WE DA WINNNNNNNAH!"
"I HATE AOL!!!!!!"
"**********."
"Lol like I give a ****."
"YES! Cha-ching $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ LOL My sites rank awesome in MSN & Yahoo...... $$$$$$$$$$$$ :)"
"if u use AOL u should die..."
"Who the **** gives a ****?"
"what the hell is AOL? lol"
"lol, but who cares, AOL sux and with this decision I'd say they're going down with M$"
"noice one AOL"
"let aol and ms go blow each other. who gives a ****."

.. and I can't find a single comment that MS is only *talking* to AOL at the moment, and no decision for dropping Google has yet been made?

Slashdot's comment system is definately superior.

Digg seems to have attracted the as-yet less mature up and coming net generation (just a WAG here...). I'd say give it time...but that sort of thing takes years
